Research projects

AIDPATH

The EU project AIDPATH is developing an automated and intelligent system for the production of so-called CAR-T cells, which is capable of producing a targeted and patient-specific cell therapy directly at the point of treatment. 

About the project

RNAuto

In the RNAuto project, researchers aim to develop automated production processes for innovative mRNA drugs for sustainable and economical healthcare.

 

About the project

AutoCRAT

In AutoCRAT, automated cellular robotic technologies are being developed for the implementation of discovery-based stem cell therapy for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

About the project

AUTOSTEM

Stem cells are promising candidates for cell therapy. In the EU project AUTOSTEM, a fully automated system was developed to produce cells in a robot-assisted environment.

 

 

About the project

StemCellFactory

The project uses standardized and integrated methods for personalized stem cell-based drug prediction to develop test systems for drug testing and pharmacotherapy in the field of neuropsychiatric diseases.

JointPromise

The purpose of the project is to design a manufacturing platform for the automated production of complex joint implants for the regenerative therapy of osteoarthritis-related cartilage defects.
